It’s always a pleasure to see your creations with dried flowers! They are always beautiful, I love them. I look forward to seeing how you will integrate them into your journal. Good Sunday.
So beautiful, I have started saving tea bags but I was not sure what I was going to do with them, thank you for the brilliant tutorial and some inspiration too 🥰
Gorgeous! I love working with my dried flowers. I think they add so much beauty to anything you make. Thank you for this tutorial and for the reminder to get my flowers out more often. 😊❤
These are so beautiful Nina, I really must give them a try. It's cheered up my day as I've been really poorly with the flu, since Tuesday, and still no sign of getting better. I've never been so poorly. Thank you Nina, for brightening my day with your lovely tutorial. Take care, Val xx
Fabulous embellishments! And thanks for the wonderful tip on using brewed tea in a spray bottle! This is a much easier way than soaking papers and using the oven. I'm glad to hear you survived Toby's visit. They're like grandkids - a lot of work when they're around, but you miss them so much when they leave. 😊 Thanks Nina! Janet 💕
Thank you so much Nina, I really really enjoyed and loved watching you creating this Ephemera for your journal and you could make cards from them too. Sunday is always a real treat for me. And I really really love ❤️ the small bit’s of tea left in the bag’s too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
These are not only gorgeous but perfect for my tiny dried flowers I have kept from gifts. I watched you do this between acetate but I think I like this better, super tutorial, Thank you.
They are beautiful Nina, I love the extra color. My dried flowers will definitely benefit from a bit of added color. Thanks so much, have an awesome week.
The flowers look so lovely preserved in that way. I live in the desert here in Texas so it is very difficult to find the types of flowers small and able to be dried. I will have to put on my thinking cap for ideas- maybe small leaves ( though they are hard to find too!). Thanks for the inspiration!
Gorgeous dried flowers and a lovely way to display them in your nature book. I, too, am a crazed dried flower collector. Well they are dried once I press them. Back a while ago, I saw your other video on this subject and you used marker pens to colorize some flowers. I love the process and outcome so I've done this myself. I decided to put a small seed I found that looked like a miniature pinecone with a few of the needles still attached (along with a wee bit of sparkle glitter for interest) into a little coin holder. My plan is to use it in my ongoing Forest journal. Not sure if I'll put it in a pocket or glue it on the outside of the pocket. But what fun it is to create with these flowers. When I began looking for weeds and flora, I found myself shocked at the sheer number of them. When I had imagined what might be here to look for, I thought there wouldn't be much. Instead I found all kinds of flowers from wild yellow poppies to seeds of all shapes and sizes. I've gone places in the mountainous woods and found beautiful oak leaves (some were very small and cute, others full size) as well as tiny acorns with little caps still on their heads. Nature is nearly everywhere if we look. This tutorial for my tea bags is wonderful as always, Nina, I feel so inspired and will look in my files for my used ones and then make some more😊🌲🐿🌸🌸🌼🌺🌻Thank you soooo much, M'Lady. XOXOJANE
Hello Jane. Some flowers just naturally loose their colour during the drying process and alcohol markers are a great way of bringing them back to life. So glad you have tried it. As you say, it’s amazing how many different varieties you can find if you look hard enough. Our garden is slowly starting to come into bloom again, and so I will be taking advantage and drying more of this years specimens, as well as some that I am sure to find whilst out walking Toby. Hope you are having a good week 💕 xo
This is an awesome idea!!! I’ve done a similar thing using napkins over dried plants on cardstock (which I think was your inspiration originally too), but I love the translucent effect & colours involved by using the teabags. Especially since I tend to have rosehip & hibiscus coloured tea bags (tasty tea too!). But I also bought some empty teabags online, so could use any of my ink sprays/watercolour/Brushos etc to colour them first & give them a unique look. Would never have thought of enhancing the flowers & leaves using alcohol markers either 😱 You are a genius!!!
These are wonderful Nina! I love the inspiration! These are amazing just how you've created, I thought about adding some stamped features onto the teabag, then adding the flowers...🤔 thanks again for awesome creation and inspiration!!😍
Good morning nina, loved your flowers and using the alcohol markers to make them "bloom" again. Today will be a sunday spend mostly inside, it is grey and wet and cold. So first I am going to follow the prompt and have a nice cup of coffee. This afternoon I will watch the world championships speedskating, something we love in holland..Hope you will have a good sunday and a good week. Love and hugs lena xxx
Good morning Lena. I am glad to say it is a dry, albeit a grey and very cold day here today. Snow if forecast for next week. I hope you will enjoy the speed skating and wishing you a wonderful week ahead. Love and hugs 💕 xxxx
What a lovely idea Nina. They look absolutely gorgeous. Never thought to do this. Thanks so much for sharing. Your videos are so easy to follow along and its very easy to listen to you. Love your channel.
Absolutely stunning Nina! I have tea bags, but not dried flowers at this time, but spring is right around the corner so I will be gathering some things from my garden. Thanks for the sharing of this fantastic idea. Have a great week! xx
What a wonderful tutorial!! Thanks so much for the lovely ideas! I have so many collected tea bags that I wasn’t sure what to do with all of them but I LOVE pressing flowers and nature journaling so I’m so surprised that I’d never thought of this. I’m incredibly excited to try it now. 🤩👏🏻👏🏻

Awesome I have some dry flowers from years ago. I must give this a try. I love adding color with alcoholic markers. Thanks
Thanks Debbie, it’s a great way to bring them back to life. Especially old faded ones. Enjoy 💕
I just dried some rose petals. Love the idea of using tea bags with the dried flowers.❤
Oh they will be beautiful with teabags 💕
I love them.
Thanks Yolanda 💕
Love these Nina. I wouldn’t have thought to enhance them with markers, great idea! 💜
These are so beautiful Nina, I really must give them a try. It's cheered up my day as I've been really poorly with the flu, since Tuesday, and still no sign of getting better. I've never been so poorly. Thank you Nina, for brightening my day with your lovely tutorial. Take care, Val xx
Love extending the life of flowers and leaves this way. Great video Nina. So easy to follow along 💕
Beautiful ❤️

Thanks Susan 💕
Love your technique…I have both dried flowers and dried tea bags in my stash….I never thought to combine them
Thanks Noreen, I think they look lovely and it’s a great way to stabilise them 💕
Fabulous embellishments! And thanks for the wonderful tip on using brewed tea in a spray bottle! This is a much easier way than soaking papers and using the oven. I'm glad to hear you survived Toby's visit. They're like grandkids - a lot of work when they're around, but you miss them so much when they leave. 😊 Thanks Nina! Janet 💕
Thanks Janet, it’s so much easier 💕
thanks for the inspiration Nina...have many dried flowers so am going to make cards with this idea
They’d look lovely on cards 💕
2 things I love working with … tea bags & pressed flowers!
Fabulous 🤗
Thank you so much Nina, I really really enjoyed and loved watching you creating this Ephemera for your journal and you could make cards from them too. Sunday is always a real treat for me.

Grunge leftover tea bags haha, love it! 😍

I adore this sweet and stunningly beautiful idea, thank you so much for sharing.

They are beautiful Nina, I love the extra color. My dried flowers will definitely benefit from a bit of added color. Thanks so much, have an awesome week.
I am definitely going to do this. A great way to use dried flowers and preserve their integrity. Thanks for sharing. Happy creating!
The flowers look so lovely preserved in that way. I live in the desert here in Texas so it is very difficult to find the types of flowers small and able to be dried. I will have to put on my thinking cap for ideas- maybe small leaves ( though they are hard to find too!). Thanks for the inspiration!

Love these Nina. I have oodles of tea bags and all sorts of things to sandwich between. Thanks for the idea. Have a wonderful day!

These have turned out so well. I love them! Many thanks, Nina.
How lovely! They would look beautiful in a simple frame. 💜
Thanks Shell. I think these will be best kept simple too 💕
Love these, I have books of dried flowers and tons of used tea bags, so saving this to my "to-do" sooner rather then later list 💜😅💜
